Can't Ease My Mind

from Recursion by Tenacious Bird Of Prey

/

lyrics

I'm not here to follow you.
but I'm not here to lead you at all.
I'm not here to doubt what you say,
but do not take that to mean
that I believe.

How can it be?
How can it be, that I can look for ever,
and that's no promise that I'll see?

I can't ease my mind.
I can't ease my mind.
Though I try.
Oh, lord I try.

The blade of grass bends
in the storm
while the trees they fall
one by one.
The drop of water goes
around the mountain
while it cuts a valley underneath

How can it be?
How can it be
that the line that saved my love
is now a noose around me?

I can't ease my mind.
I can't ease my mind.
Though I try.
Oh, how I try.

If I ain't got it,
and they don't want it
lord won't you see that it's fit
that I be freed?
These words they weave
like a prayer in me,
but such a cold thin cloth
against the winter of my mind.

How can it be?
How can it be that
I can look for ever,
and that's no promise
that I'll see.

I can't ease my mind.
I can't ease my mind.
Though I try.
Oh, how I try.
